Vilsandi National Park is located in Saare County at the southern part of Estonia and includes a part of the Vilsandi island, about 150 smaller islands, the Harilaid peninsula, and parts of western Saaremaa. Created in 1910, Vilsandi is the oldest Baltic protected area and one of the largest Estonia’s seal resting sites. The park has 30 species of orchids and large number of species of juniper bushes and fossils. The park is a spectacular hiking destination, and horseback riders can get a horse at the Reinu stables. As you hike, you will see numerous picturesque lighthouses, but the islands are mostly uninhabited. The park has an excellent visitor’s center with a great collection of fossils. To see the seals close up, you can join one of several boat tours.
